Thank You Song Lyrics

Thank You by Sheppard

When I couldn’t fall asleep
You’d read to me
And lay right there at my side
If I grazed a knee
From climbing trees
You’d comfort me as I cried

Made my lunches every day
And though you were running late
You would walk me all the way to school
Building castles out of sand
Way too young to understand
That life was easy all because of you

So I wanna thank you
For making me half as good as you
And as I get older
I understand what I put you through
I misbehaved, I made mistakes
But you never turned away
So I wanna thank you
For all that you do
For all that you do

As a teen, I lied
Ignored advice
Pretended I didn’t care
I should let you know
It was all a show
I loved you more than I shared

I put your patience to the test
But you always did your best
You were tough but you were never cruel
And now that I’m a man
I’m proud of who I am
And I know it’s all because of you

So I wanna thank you
For making me half as good as you
And as I get older
I understand what I put you through
I misbehaved, I made mistakes
But you never turned away
So I wanna thank you
For all that you do

You make me better
I would be nothing without you
So this is my letter
Cause I wanna show my gratitude

No I’ve never been afraid in the warmth of your embrace
And I’ll keep that feeling all my life
I have always been your son, you will always be my mum
From the cradle till the day I die

So I wanna thank you
For making me half as good as you
And as I get older
I understand what I put you through
I misbehaved, I made mistakes
But you never turned away
So I wanna thank you
For all that you do
Yeah I wanna thank you
For all that you do
For all that you do
